Ever since I made that amigurumi polar bear, I’ve been trying to figure out how I can improve on it. In my mind, “improved” means rounder and cuter. So I decided to go back to the bear-making table and give it another go with a brown bear and a black bear. The results (though hard to see because they’re so dark) were these two limbless, round bears that resemble Timbits/donutholes.

The polar bear.

I know it’s hard to see them, I think I may have to take them outside to get a clear photo. Now I need some input. Is it weird that they don’t have limbs? Does it look like it’s just a head? I don’t want anyone to think of decapitated bears when they see these. To compare, to the right is a photo of the polar bear I made earlier with limbs.

Maybe I should make them some little floppy limbs… Oh my, I need direction on these bears. Maybe I’ll make a polar bear timbit for better photo comparison. Any thoughts?
